About the dish

A special tart where the layers are cooked in a pan rather than a tin. Another recipe with the same title appears later in the book (p. 675).

How to make it

  1. 1

    Mix the dough

    Beat the butter, margarine, sugar and eggs together for 20 minutes. Add the oats and the flour mixed with baking powder and cinnamon.

  2. 2

    Cook the layers

    Cook the dough as thick pancakes, about ½ cm thick, in melted butter over fairly low heat without browning them. Turn them over on a lid. They can also be baked in a pan in the oven at low heat.

  3. 3

    Make apricot purée

    Wash the apricots well, soak them in cold water for a couple of hours and cook them in that water with the sugar until completely soft. Fold in the whipped cream.

  4. 4

    Assemble

    Put a little jam or apricot purée between the layers. The tart can also be covered with whipped cream.

Changes from the original

Quantities are unchanged; 'del.' is dl. The amount of cinnamon and the thickness (½ cm) are interpreted from unclear marks in the source, and 'apricots' are interpreted as dried.
